Yeah this ROM is amazing. This is by far the best release yet to date. I've been running this for about 2 and 1/2 weeks and I have fantastic battery life and I'm not using my juice defender so when I set that up Ill see if that changes. I've been getting over 18 hours with about moderate use. Depends on ur definition of moderate too. 4 hours of Pandora isn't moderate for me. Lol. Also my camera is working great. My wifi and bluetooth are working great. 4g has been in my area for a little over 2 months so that's good. They finally fixed that annoying internal issue with updating prls and profiles last week so that's a plus. The only gripe I have with this ROM is that when ever I try to ride it like a skateboard..... the wheels never seem to pop out. Damn it ROB!!!

I think the startup images should be changed to something about autism awareness. It would be in keeping with the developers wish to spread the word on autism.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kwazytazz:
I had the same problem, but it was on and off, and its happens only when I use the bluetooth and hangup, its starts to crackle until I reboot the phone then the problem goes away. I'm on MidnightROM 5.2 with journaling off. And bluetooth is a jawbone icon series
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I believe its something to do with the VooDoo sound, you might want to search around XDA; I am pretty sure I have read a thing or two about crackling. You might even be able to use the VooDoo control to tweak something.

I don't know for sure as I don't use my phone for music, just have seen others talking about it.

Good luck

Anyone having issues with the Gingerbread keyboard? Whenever I go to Settings > Local and Text > MTM Gingerbread and I press Input Languages it crashes. Anyone else having this problem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
No but mine will crash about 25% of the time if it is open and I slide out the qwerty keyboard. Simple FC and nothing happens after that but just a little annoying...

Did you flash the standard upgrade zips?

from here:

http://lostandtired.com/android-development

first flash : midNIGHT ROM Extras v5

then flash : midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip

5.2 version just has the changes needed to go from v5 to v5.2

hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] kwazytazz:
Hi, just a quick question for everyone running this rom, this is essentially the same as the 5.2 with journaling off correct? got all the perks and stuff as the journaling off? or was there some tweaks that were omitted?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Yep; I looked at the first page of both ROMs to be sure and they're the same, sans the journaling.

Enjoy

Man, I have been running Midnight 5 w/journal since day 1. I have tried 5.2 on a few occasions and get an fc here or there or things just not as perfect as Mid 5 standard. Help me out here those rocking this to perfection : Wipe data/system,cache,dalvik 3x. Flash the 5.2 byor, then the standard folder to get all the goodies back right? I mean I have used 5 with Genocide at 1400, multiple themes, other tweaks, boot animations and nothing fails...help me get over the hump to 5.2 please. It goes to homescreen then when I try to install apps back fresh, it kicks me to homescreen or boots again.....Is Odin an absolute? I am on EC05 modem. Thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Well, I figured out my problem ...don't sign into Market before applying a theme and all is good..:-) great actually. Only question is how do I add back the visual voicemail in the Midnight extras folder or is that already added when I flashed the standard folder? Kickass work again Rob!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kwazytazz:
Its already added in the standard zip so when you flash the standard you should see it upon boot ;D
[Epic 4G Android Development] BubbaGumprc:
This rom is awesome came over from ACS was having some issues. Only having one issue with this one is I cant recieve MMS but yet I can send them just fine. Anyone else having this issue
[Epic 4G Android Development] scottyd035ntknow:
No issues whatsoever with MMS. If you can't get it to work, I would odin back to the stock rom and then download an app called APN backup/restore from the market. While on the stock rom, make a backup of your APN and then go about flashing this rom again. If you still have issues, use the same app to delete you current APN and then restore the one you pulled from the stock rom. Then reboot and it should work. If not I would re-download the zip file and try again, you might have gotten a bad download or something corrupted during a file transfer or whatever.

I'm on boost, not Sprint so I have to restore a specific modified APN for boost every time I flash a rom or odin back to stock or load a rom to use MMS and it takes literally like 10 seconds.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
I feel u and as for a link I'm not sure bro the only thing on roam that bothers me is the 300 MB data cap BC idk how much data's being pulled while on roam
[Epic 4G Android Development] Anon9mouz:
See yalls need to use the one from market way better BC that one that rob keeps putting in the Rom is horrible it needs to be updated ur better off with swype than that pos

Has anyone flashed the SprintID zip in the xtra folder.. I was about to but was scared it was going to cause my phone to force close.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gpeterson:
Rob, just dropping in to say I've been on 5.2 journaled since the update and since have had no reason to visit XDA to try and figure out what's gone wrong with my phone. Finally, a reliable ROM. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Can anyone tell me what the difference between this ROM and the Journaling Off ROM is please? Ultimately which is better to use?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rocket321:
Just flashed RFS 5.2. Installed market and a couple other things from extras folder. Can't install anything from market - crashes & reboots as soon as any download hits 100%.

Re-flashed (after wipe 3x), installed standard edition upgrade, fixed permissions. Reboot and try to install anything from market - same thing, crash and reboot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Can I flash this right over ViperROM Synergy or do I have to ODIN back to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] cocochannel:
where is the market app on this rom???
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
I'd put the ROM and standard update zips on the SD card

boot to recovery.

wipe 3x in recovery. (data, partition and dalvik)

then flash 5.2 rom

flash v5 midnight standard update

flash v5.2 midnight standard update (only has things that changed for 5.2)

boot ... setup your phone .

(optional: after setup .download a theme, boot to recovery; wipe partition cache and dalvik 3x each NOT DATA ... flash theme)

Hope that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
Right on, thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] cocochannel:
Flashed RFS version with CWM 2.5 then flashed midNIGHT ROM v5.2 Standard Upgrade.zip and now when i try installing apps the phone just reboots.

btw internet and market should be on the base rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] thorbergdt:
ditto... me too, I've tried redoing the whole process multiple times to no avail.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MikeyLee:
I was just about to flash too... Glad I saw this cause I have no issues with my phone at the moment. Think I will hold off
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
Yeah its good. I flashed it. U have to have touchwiz for it to work properly tho. Nothing ROM related more so Sprint. Without touchwiz it wont install the different ids all the way cuz it needs touch to complete the install process. Or u can do without it and just get the apps versus a whole new theme.

For those of you that have good battery life, what are your settings? My battery life is terrible. I use wifi most of the time, gps is off, blue tooth off, screen set to lowest setting, not syncing with anything, background data is off, and power saver mode is on and my battery life is still terrible.

Also I cant make calls. I have to update both my profile and PRl before any call I make. Ive flashed midnight roms before and never had this issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It is a link to Lost and Tired....this is for autism awareness that Rob would like to spread....at the top there is a "Android Development" section...there you will find all that you need...
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I'm not sure if Rob posted anywhere in these threads, but as per his Twitter feeds, he's having to make some sacrifices as a parent and is selling his Epic and extras on eBay. Unfortunately, this also means that he will no longer be developing for right now.

On behalf of myself, all of ACS, and the userbase at large, I'd like to thank Rob (ptfdmedic) for everything he's contributed to the Epic community, and all of the time and effort he's put in, in his already busy schedule and hectic life. Our very best wishes are with he and his family.

I and ACS fully support Rob's mission to spread autism awareness. I would like to encourage everyone who has not yet added an awareness banner to your signature to do so now, whether Rob's version, or the version in my signature, by ZHkilla.

But don't just toss up a banner and call it a day - if Rob has taught us anything, it's that autism is a disease that we the public really must understand better. Read the Wikipedia article, read Rob's blog, and keep in mind the challenges that parents of autistic children, and autistic individuals themselves face. Understand that those on the spectrum are people first and foremost, and that while they may be a little different, they deserve all the respect that any decent human beings deserve.

Once again, thank you Rob, for your generous donation of time and effort to making our phones run better, making this community more harmonious, and raising autism awareness. I didn't mean to steal your thunder if you were planning on making an announcement here as well as Twitter... but I wanted to say a few words anyway. :)

EDIT: to keep this thread easy to read for troubleshooters, please post replies in this thread.

I will put $10.00 down for you to keep ur Epic/buy a new one. I really love the work u have done for us all.

I would like to thank everyone for all the support I have received over the months I have been developing this ROM. Thank you all for taking on the challenge or spreading Autism Awareness. I can't explain what your support means to myself and my family.

Unfortunately, I'm announcing the end of the development for the midNIGHT ROM. It has become necessary to auction my Epic on ebay. I just got it replaced and haven't even activate it yet. My goal is to hopefully get enough to get our van fixed....again. We have MANY appointments and therapies for both my wife and kids that are out of town and on hold until I get the van back up and running. Emmett's speech therapy has been cut in half by insurance. His specialists have been trying to get him in 2 times a week as he has mod to severe language ad speech impairment. Now they won't even cover 3 times a month.

While I wish there was another way I feel good about being able to at least do this. I hope to still contribute to this community and really hope to be back at it at some point in the near future.

Thanks again to EVERYONE for ALL the support for both this ROM and most importantly Autism.

I want to say a special THANK YOU to ALL my testers. You have been AWESOME.

Thanks to the Bonsai team for everything and especially Randy for all his help and guidance.

Thanks to k0nane for being...well..k0nane. Thanks for being SO supportive and such a great example to this community.

If anyone is in the market for an Epic 4G. Check out my auction here. I have listed a BUY IT NOW price with a TON of EXTRAS. I'm also donating 10% of whatever I get to Northeast Ohio Autism Group.

Thanks again for everything and I'll be in touch. You can follow me at www.lostandtired.com. I may have some pretty big news in the near future. You can also follow me on twitter @lost_and_tired as well as @midnight_rom (for future announcements)

Now this may sound kind of "needy" but i really enjoyed the no clock in the status bar on the other version. Is there an update zip to take the clock back off on future updates?

and thanks rob for this great rom!
[Epic 4G Android Development] durrett syndrome:
sooo if i use this ROM and my phone screen freezes up (unlikely but jw before I flash), if I just pull the battery out I can get stuck in bootloop? any way around that bc I always hate starting over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
That is going to be in the works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ungovernable1977:
anything is possible, but that is a lot more likely with the other, NO Journaling version, or any NO Journaling. Its not the end of the world, but THIS setup with jounaling on is more stable, but theres a supposed speed increase to having NO journaling... as the data isnt constantly backing itself up. So in theory, THIS is the more stable setup. I only had a freeze and subsequent bootloop ONCE on no jounaling since it was introduced, fwiw. So anyways, Rob was kind enough to give us the options to run our file systems however we like. Either way, this rom is the sh*t. :)

Hehe Murphy's law. I switch to try Midnight Rom for the first time thinking, I'll deal with doing a backup/restore nandroid to convert it to EXT4 w/Journaling. After all that, I see this thread. lol. I went from Nebula 1.0.7.

I've had so much trouble in the past with EXT4 with no journaling, I'm glad you released an EXT4+jourla/RFS version... Now for me to switch it back to RFS...

Thanks for putting this out. BTW, any chance to add "News & Weather" by default for future releases? (It's aka Google Genie app).
[Epic 4G Android Development] youngpro83:
So if Im already on EC05 stock rooted can I just flash this over the top of it?? Or do I HAVE TO ODIN back? Either way is not a big deal. Just wondering if I can take the shortcut and just flash on top.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
I read on the website at least I think I read it right that this rom will also work with the eb13 modem? Only reason I ask is I'm not going to get the update and I have no way of flashing the modem to my phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
It does seem to work fine. Eventually we'll have a fix to go from EB13 to EC05 for the modem. We just have to wait for sprint to decide to support EB13 :( I know it's frustrating.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
You I don't really know how to answer that. If I recall correctly (and I could be wrong) the bonsai changes are persistent meaning you have to odin. I suggest odining as that will give you a clean start.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
nope. Probably not to be honest but you could just flash it.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] jephro:
Right! WTF- so all the people who got the legit OTA to EB13 are just stuck on it eh? (Asuming they ane not the tech savy type)

Hey Rob,

What ever happened to all the dl links on lost&tired with the zips like glass dialer, honeycomb theme etc? I have a few still on my SD card and all the *.*edify files work just fine but I seem to be missing the ones I want. Could you nudge me in the right direction.

BTW- I had an idea... Sprint ID (Autisim Awareness). You've already pretty much done the work, a cool ID for a good cause;)

Is anyone else having a mic problem? What I mean is that for some reason when Im not using my Bluetooth head set, no one can hear me talking unless i speak directly into the mic. So if i hold the phone the normal way, no one can hear anything Im saying. I have to actually hold the mic directly to my mouth and even then it cuts off a little.. :/

Im not sure how long this has been going on or if its the rom that did it since i have always used the Bluetooth with this phone, but I wanted to know if anyone else is having similar problems..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
Do a nandroid backup.

Then odin stock EC05 over and test to be sure you don't have a hardware issue. I have read a few posts where the mic stopped working correctly.

If it still does it you're set to bring it back to sprint to get it replaced.

If not, you can try to restore, but perhaps just go through the rooting and rom'g steps to be sure nothing is corrupted.

Hey Everyone,

I need some help and you guys are just the people to do it. As you all know Autism Awareness is something very near and dear to my heart. In my never ending quest (in my newly discovered free time) to help spread awareness I listed my blog on a site called Picket Fence Blogs. VERY popular site. I need votes to keep me towards the top of the list. There aren't many Autism related blogs listed here and the more votes I get the more people will read my story and the more Autism Awareness is spread.

All you have to do is click this link. http://picketfenceblogs.com/vote/3616

When you click it you are voting for my Lost and Tired blog. It will tell you that you just voted for me. You can vote once a day. You can also vote from your vote as well (as it's a different IP address). Please feel free to share the link as you see fit. I don't get anything for ranking on this site accept sharing my story with more people.

Anyway, I would really appreciate your continued support for this cause. I'm trying to occupy my time since I haven't flashed a ROM is 2 days 23 hrs and 17 minutes...twitch...twitch :)

I just clicked/voted ur link Rob.

Does any one have the kernel zip to flash back after trying out other kernels. I want to try some other kernels but if I want to go back to the bonsai kernel o don't feel like reflashing the whole rom

Sent from my ComBadge..
[Epic 4G Android Development] jdelano:
When you download a flashable kernel zip. Make a copy of the zip and rename it, midNight_Kernel.zip or something.

Use a program called 7-Zip (free)

Open the zip with it, find the kernel folder and delete the zImage file.

Open the midNight 5.2 ROM zip, find the kernel folder, copy zImage from this zip to the midNight_Kernel.zip from previous.

close the zips

you have now made a flashable zip with the kernel that came with the ROM.

hope that helps ... always remember to do a backup before changing anything.
